Re: PostgreSQL 9.2.7 on Power 8 / AIX 7.1

Hello,
I have used an old version:

root@aixtest06 rc:0 # gmake --version
GNU Make 3.80
Copyright (C) 2002  Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.
There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

But I can upgrade to a new version, that's no problem.
Which version do you recommend?

Bye
  Rainer
